__notoc__ Thalia (; ; "the joyous, the flourishing", from , ''thállein''; "to flourish, to be verdant") was the Muse who presided over comedy and idyllic poetry. In this context her name means "flourishing", because the praises in her songs flourish through time.〔(Theoi Project - Mousa Thaleia )〕 She was the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the eighth-born of the nine Muses. According to pseudo-Apollodorus, she and Apollo were the parents of the Corybantes.〔Apollodorus, (''Bibliotheca'', 1.3.4 ).〕 Other ancient sources, however, gave the Corybantes different parents.〔Sir James Frazer's (note ) on the passage in the ''Bibliotheca''.〕 She was portrayed as a young woman with a joyous air, crowned with ivy, wearing boots and holding a comic mask in her hand. Many of her statues also hold a bugle and a trumpet (both used to support the actors' voices in ancient comedy), or occasionally a shepherd’s staff or a wreath of ivy. ==See also== *Muses in popular culture 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thalia (Muse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
